YULETIDE LETTERS LA LA LA
Oct. 22nd, 2013 03:50 pmDear Yuletide Santa,
I already love everything about my story, because you will work hard to make me something for me and me alone. You are made of magic beans! Although I am also fond of stories so beautiful and sad that I have to rest my head and cry, I would prefer a hopeful, cheery story that leaves everyone in a cozy moment.
My yuletide leanings tend to be gen, but this year I’ve got a yen for some Raven Boys. Suggestive rather than explicit would be preferred, but go with your gut. And if you ARE feeling gen-y, backstory on the half-aunts ahoy!
If Maggie Stiefvater isn’t in your wheelhouse, perhaps a trip to Pawnee, Indiana would better suit you? That town is made of hugs and puppy parties, man. I would be excited out of my mind for anything from Leslie and the gang, but if you could focus on Donna and Tom friendship, that would be the bee’s knees.
If you’re feeling gritty this holiday season, maybe Tana French and her Dublin Murder Squad is your cuppa. Dig up an old case, or put them on the scent of a new one – I’m oddly fond of Scorcher, but Frank is always exhilarating, and Cassie has her own past and Lexie’s to revisit...
I enjoyed The Wolverine possibly more than it deserved, but Yukio is worth anyone’s time, and Yukio hanging out and fighting crime with Logan would be a blast.
If you want a fixer-upper, 49 Days jogged to the left just at the end, and I bawled my freakin’ eyes out. KISS IT BETTER, PLEASE.
Slings and Arrows is still a darling of my heart, and whenever I’m home sick I watch it again. Although I have suggested Parks and Rec/Drunk History, I imagine that Slings and Arrows/Drunk History would also be a worthy topic. Or, again, the cast of Slings and Arrows in a jaeger. Because. Come on. THE SPEECHES. The teams! Geoffrey and Darren? Anna and Richard? (Or better still, Anna and Nehum!) Kate and Jack? Ellen and Sloan? And Oliver tormenting Geoffrey in the drift! Ah ha ha ha ha!!
For a summary of my actual requests, see below:
Parks and Recreation
I love comedy and friendship and I would love to see Tom and Donna tearing it up in any location, but possibly:
In New York for Fashion Week
On a private jet going to some exotic locale
On a yacht!, motherfucker
... in a jaeger? SO DRIFT COMPATIBLE (WHAT IS THEIR JAEGER CALLED - also Leslie and Ann being drift compatible, to poor Ben's consternation and their jaeger is called Best Team Friendship Unicorn FOREVER - but it's totally Ben and Chris on Team Good Cop/Bad Cop, April and Andy as Sonic Death Mule… *ahem* obvs your suggestions would be paramount.)
Alternately:
Crossover of Parks and Recreation with Drunk History? SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater
Book Two opened the doors WIDE. Also, Kavinsky has Ronan's number. Also, 'Just the way you like it, fast and anonymous.' I mean. Dang.
Also Noah? Can Ronan dream him alive again? Can Ronon/Adam dream him alive again? Maybe there could be. Ghost Sex/Threesomes? Um. yes. Adam's 18 and technically, Noah's in his mid-twenties!
Ronan/Adam: both with ridiculous power, both angry and so broken, always fighting and making up off camera. After Kavinsky, and Adam and Blue are no longer a possibility, who moves first?
Alternately:
ANYTHING about any/all the half-aunts! How they met, roomed together, flashbacks to Puppy and/or all the women of the house and their pasts, romantic and otherwise.
Dublin Murder Squad Series - Tana French
I would like to see more of anyone from the French books, in any setting you would like. I'd like to see more of Scorcher, post-Broken Harbour, but I'm a bit intrigued by the idea of Cassie haunting 'Lexie's' life - visiting her other hides and being mistaken for Lexie again and again by the people she knew. Maybe telling them Lexie was dead, penance for her ghost, maybe just... slipping back into one of Lexie's other lives and starting fresh.
The Wolverine (2013)
Yukio and Logan fighting crime: Noir AU? Jaeger Pilots? Yukio setting Logan up on dates with women in their 40s? Yukio and Logan driving an ambulance? Yukio and Logan being pals and doing junk.
Alternately:
All Yukio All The Time; I anticipate this one would be heavier on People I Have Prophesied Death For angle. Try to make it hopeful somehow, if at all possible
49 Days
OMG just fixxxxxxxx thisssssss holy rhinestoned Elvis, where did my pastel Hits of the Adult Contemporary 80s romcom go? Bring Shin Ji Hyun back from the dead and make some people happy! Those last episode twists need to be combed back into a shiny ponytail. (Also: SCHEDULER IS SO DREAMY I LUFF HEEM.)
Slings & Arrows
Basically, I love Anna and Geoffrey as pals. Anything you like, along with anyone else in the cast (hee hee hee ELLEN). Early days hangouts or Post-series with bonus Nehum/Anna if you've got it in your pocket. Would also adore Darren Nichols anything (the corduroy jacket with PUFFED SLEEVES, 'dress it up in sequins and make it sing', oh, DARREN ::swoon::)
Happy Yuletide Writing, kids! (I'm going to be writing something ambitious this year, by crackey!)
